Yes it is sad but true. Biologique Recherche just announced the original Lotion P50 1970 formulas are being discontinued in the USA. January 2025 was the last shipment of Lotion P50 1970 to the USA. Read below for the latest information and all you need to know.
Is Lotion P50 1970 being discontinued in the USA?
Yes the original 1970 formula containing phenol will no longer be available once the existing inventory in the USA is sold out. Inventory is limited and selling quickly.
Is Lotion P50V 1970 being discontinued in the USA?
Yes the original 1970 formula containing phenol will no longer be available once the existing inventory in the USA is sold out. Inventory is limited and selling quickly.
Are the other Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 formulas being discontinued?
No! All the other P50 formulas that do not contain phenol will still be available for sale in the USA. Lotion P50 for normal to combination skin, Lotion P50V for normal to dry skin, Lotion P50W for sensitive and reactive skin and Lotion P50 PIGM 400 to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots all do not contain the phenol ingredient and will be available to purchase.
Why are the original Lotion P50 1970 formulas being discontinued?
New FDA ingredient regulations now prohibit phenol to be included in cosmetic skincare products. Although the percentage in the formula was extremely low it is still not an acceptable ingredient in the USA.
What is phenol?
Phenol is a chemical antiseptic that has purifying properties. It is considered safe to use in very low percentages. The original Lotion P50 formulas contain less than 1% in their current formulas. Nonetheless the FDA no longer approves this ingredient in cosmetic skincare products.
Can I still purchase Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 1970 and Lotion P50 1970?
Yes! You can purchase both of the original P50 1970 formulas at www.paullabrecque.com. Quantities are limited and selling quickly. The current expiration date on our inventory is January 2028. Plan ahead and stock up before it is gone forever. You can also visit us and purchase at either of our two locations in New York City and Palm Beach, Florida.
Will there be a new Lotion P50 1970 and Lotion P50V 1970 formula introduced in the future?
There is no confirmed reformulation however Biologique Recherche has informed us they are researching alternative formulas and ingredients.
Are the No Phenol Lotion P50 formulas as good as the original?
Yes we believe so. The majority of the main ingredients remain the same and as effective. The performance and results you will see are comparable for most skin types.
Which P50 formula should I use instead of the Lotion P50 1970 formulas?
The answer is simple. If you currently use the Lotion P50 1970 formula you would transition to the Lotion P50 NO Phenol formula.
Is Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 Capillarie for hair & scalp and Lotion P50 Corps for body still available?
Yes both of those formulas are still available and there will be no change in formula.
If you currently use the Lotion P50V 1970 formula you would transition to the Lotion P50V NO Phenol formula.
